Famous Captains or navigators, huh…”
Lee Hyun was searching the website articles.
“Though it’d better to get anyone that does not belong to a guild or group.”
From among them he found a striking article.
Title: Dirty Navigator Bastards! They robbed me of everything in Lanetis Sea.
Timber! You dirty bastards! I was pressed into Eulra on 4teeth.
(T/N Pressed is a old term that was used to reference people who where pressed “kidnapped” into the becoming sailors for the navy [usual an old British reference])
I hired some navigator, but he caused a mutiny with the other crewmen and I lost all of my trading goods and even got my ship stolen.
After I searched up their names, man these guys were famous.
Seems like Hye, Fractal, and Board Mir were friends. Don’t ever hire them.
The name was also posted about in several other articles.
Title Accusing the armed mugger of Planatis sea.
Even while they have high levels they’re jerks who hijack others’ ships. In order to access us they pretend to be goodie two shoes and after hiring them for their talents they stole the ship and I got a total loss. Don’t ever be fooled. They totally lust for women and their personalities are shit. Main base Becky. Let’s all be careful.
Lee Hyun was in a position where he had to use a pirate caught as a slave if he couldn’t get a navigator.
“For starters I just need to get the contract.”
When the sailor contract is fulfilled that person’s status belongs to the ship.
In other words, as long as the ship does not sink, they are revived on the ship. Therefore the right to decide the life and death of the seafarers belongs to the captain. However, it was always possible for the sailors to take control of the ship by rioting and overthrowing the captain. At sea anything can happen!
The Port city Becky! As a port city that was part of a small marine dukedom. Trade and the shipbuilding industry were developed. In order to enter the Neria Sea from the Planatis Sea, it was an island that must essentially be passed by. The Island had many good hunting grounds, and its ocean currents lead all the way to the eastern kingdom of Brenton in just four or five days.
“Hehe, please another bottle of wine here.”
Bellotte was dressed in a neat leather dress and was drinking in the hard drunk pubs. Cute rosy cheeks, clear eyes, and innocent impression; she had attracted all the men’s attention.
“Hmm.”
“A woman drinking alone…. Is she waiting for her colleagues to come?”
Many of the male users were taking a peek at her.
Because this tavern was near the port the ratio of male sailors was overwhelmingly high. As the men were building up courage, watching Bellote sipping a drink, there were three men who stood up first. It was Hye, Fractal, and Board Mir the navigators famous for bad taste. They loved hard liquor, women, and had experience seizing boats by betraying the captain. They had a notorious reputation for going in between as normal users and murderers. They also had the nickname “ Becky’s 3 Mad Sharks.” Now they sat next to Bellotte and spoke in light tones. The one with the job to break the silence was Hye whose appearance was the better of the three.
“Seems like this is your first time in Becky?”
“Yes. My friends asked me to come here recently. Hehe.”
It was important how the opponent accepts the first words. Hye thought it wasn’t a bad start. That was because she laughed good-heartedly without any repulsion.
“Where are your friends now?”
“They’re waiting in the harbor.”
For Hye there was no need to retire even if there was a friend. If it was a girl with a cutesy innocent impression like Bellotte anyone would want to go out with her.
“Your friends as in men?”
“Their names are Romuna and Surka. Would you like to see a picture?”
“Picture?”
“A little sis I know is a painter. She painted us each a portrait.”
“I would love to see it, by all means.”
Bellotte pulled out the images from her backpack below. The image contained A Sporty girl in a red wizards hat and charming dancer staring wide-eyed. etc
Hye, Fractal and Board Mir swallowed their spit and thought:
‘Jackpot.’
Hitting on Bellotte alone was already amazing. But along with her friends it was not an exaggeration to say it was a beauty corp. Hye’s smile thickened further.
“By the way why, is there no nautical officer in this picture?”
“Because none of them is a nautical officer.”
“I presume you got here with another’s boat or a liner.”
“No, we hitched a ride with a friend who has his very own boat. He’s a beginner Captain.”
“Oh my, it must’ve been tough coming here.”
The currents around Becky were extreme, thus unless sailed by a skilled sailor, there was bound to be trouble.
“Actually it was really hard. It took more than four days to get here.”
“Yes it was very difficult. It took us three days longer to get here.”
“My my that so? It would’ve been much better if some skilled navigators helped out….”
Hye peeked a glance at his mates.
As if written on a script Fractal asked the next question
“The sea is really beautiful, right?”
“Yes, it’s really beautiful. The clouds roll across, and the floating stars and clouds…. and watching the jumping fish and dolphins make me really happy.”
Hye gazed gracefully back at Bellotte again at the end of the eloquent words.
“The sea is a really nice place. Are you going to continue your voyage? If so then perhaps we can help out a bit…. Really?
“All the good views of Becky are in the palm of our hands. We’ve even got some drinks to drink while looking.”
“Actually there’s a place I really want to go….”
Bellotte suddenly tailored a guilty look. If one looked close it seemed like a frozen face doing something one really shouldn’t. But this was interpreted differently by Hye.
‘Is she being sorry for asking me for help? Such a nice lady.’
